Tight budget, goal of getting through the next 5 year with a maximum of one cheap GPU upgrade and maybe another 8GB ram, while staying ahead of PS4 and Bone in performance.

It's either this or a keeping my Asus i7 laptop with the Geforce 555 for some PC games and buying a PS4 at some point in the future.

It means "in stock" in Danish

Two sticks of dual channel RAM is better than one. I can't really tell from that image, but I assume you're just getting one 8GB or 16GB stick. I've never used ADATA and I don't know much about it, so I'd personally go with Corsair, but they're probably fine.

Other than that, it looks like a good AMD build.

Whats the cost looking like?

Interested in doing something like this myself this year

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah dual channel is better true, wanted 1 8 gb first. Might as well get two.

Cost is like 700 euro for this now.

can you push to this card: http://skinflint.co.uk/eu/xfx-radeon-hd-7970-double-dissipation-edition-fx-797a-tdfc-fx-797a-tdjc-a723345.html? it would push the GPU from around the same as a PS4 to comfortably above it, which is where you want to be really.

use that site to find all your parts. it's a crazy good resource if you'reapee'n

I have the same PSU. Let's be PSU bros.

[radioheadrule83]

That's about £580... good chunk above asking price for Xbone and PS4, but would headwalk's suggestion have it comfortably smoke em?

If you want to be a step infront of the new consoles and buy an affordable system, wouldn't it be be better to wait 6-12 months? Your alternative sounds like you don't want it thaaaaaaaaaat much right now.

So does "Lagerless" mean "out of stock" in Danish? 

[Brehvolution]

Go with the AMD 8350. It's not much more.

I cant do the pc in a year, we need a new one next month.

Either well buy a cheap laptop for 400 or ill build a new rig and give my laptop to my fiancee.

Its kind of way more expensive here.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Seems well just get a new laptop for waifu.

New laptop + ps4 = price of this pc

[Rufus]

Might be the better solution. The PC would have been outclassed fairly soon anyway.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hows your 280x doing rufus?

[Rufus]

Nope, keeping this baby. It can get really annoyingly loud when the fans spin up past 55%, but that only seems to happen when the hot air from my case isn't pushed out fast enough. I turned on the top fan again and set up a custom fan profile that doesn't spin up as quickly and it's been nice ever since. I don't have any extremely graphically intensive games installed besides Risen 2 and that's not really all that taxing (or pretty) regardless, but it does run a lot better now and at highest settings. I guess I'll need to re-install Crysis or something...
